java 6

[ChrisSDB]

Can I clarify something on the same subject?

I have a similar problem: I have Java 6 updates 18, 2 , 3, 5 & & plus Java

SE Runtime Environment 6 Update 1 showing in my "currently installed

programs". Which of these can I safely remove?

Hope I'm allowed to come in on someone else's query.

Hi Chris,



Most of the time you can do this. But it is a good idea to write down

each version BEFORE uninstalling, since some poorly written programs may

install a specific version of Java for their program to run, and will

not work with an updated version. I have run across this several times

when cleaning up machines with multiple versions.



Starting with 6.10, Java now removes all prior versions when updating,

but it will not remove any prior to 6.10.

Our org. is *very* Java dependent and we have never had this issue.



What I often do see is that on some PCs with too many versions, Java applets don't work

right or not at all. reducing it to the latest version makes them work.



YMMV

You should un-install (remove) all but the most recent.

That's a definite possibility so not emptying the REcycle Bin is a good

idea then y ou can get it back if you need to.

Fortunately, most thoughtfully written programs put their java in a separate

location in their own folders when that's the case, but not always.



Or better yet, copy the old ones you're about to delete to a DVD or other

safe location makes them easier to find and put back. Also doesn't clutter

the Recycle Bin.



HTH,

Add/Remove Programs does not populate the Recycle Bin.

Not a possibility. 100% fact. Blackberry Desktop Manager for Exchange

is one. The other one I can't remember right now. And Java wasn't

installed in the BB install folder either.
